Our History

In April 1932, Bro. William Ring and Bro. McCray arrived in a small fishing village of Back Bay to spread
the gospel of Jesus Christ. He held services on the corner until they were invited the use to the Church of Christ (known as "the Chruch on the hill".)   As he was preacing there  for a short period of time,  souls were being saved and transformed by the gospel. The Pentecostal experience was preached and it had caused a conflict with the parishioner of the Church and it had caused a division, so the owner of the clam factory (Ruby Cooke) offered the use of the clam factory to Bro. RIng.  A few got together and white washed the building, placed lanterns around the walls and hung the rafters, and the men built  seating with planks.  The pulpit was placed in the far end of the building which hung out over the water.
 
As time went on they discussed the possibilities of building a new Church. Orb Harris donated the land for them to start the Church on. The first donation of $100.00 was given by Alphonso French. Then others came on board. Gradis Cooke, Murril Hooper, Pete Hooper, Herman Hooper, Ottie Hooper, Boyton Hanley and Joe Hanley were all fisherman and they began the process of the new Church. Later in the years as the Church began to grow, they decided to expand on the back of the Church and place the pulpit further back to make room for new converts
